Will Obama bring back the draft?

October 26, 2008

Last week Senator Biden warned that if Obama is elected President there will be a significant international crisis within six months. Our enemies will somehow test Obama.  He also told his colleagues “off the record”:

“I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, “Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough? We’re gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I’m asking you now, I’m asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.”

Biden warned that whatever this incident may be, Barack Obama’s reaction and response to it will be disastrous and wildly unpopular. Bill Whittle at NRO wondered what the heck Joe was hinting at.

Well, some people have argued that if Iran and Israel decide to get serious – and if an Obama administration did essentially nothing to defend our ally… how would the vast majority of American Jews – largely Democrats – take that? Could that be the poll hit that Democrats need to “gird their loins” for?

That’s depressing. Here’s something even more depressing: What if Biden is hinting that Obama would indeed get us involved militarily at Israel’s side – or anywhere else, for that matter. In other words, if Obama were to step up and do the right thing, and put America in the middle of another war – would that be what he wants to brace the base for?

What’s depressing about that? Well, in a fundamentally moral country – or political party – such an action should make his poll numbers shoot
up.

Another theory: Recruitment is apparently falling off sharply within the last month or so. I have heard, anecdotally, that new recruits are waiting out the election, since most of them have no desire to serve in the kind of toothless military they see under a President Obama. Is Joe Biden warning us that Obama may need to reinstate the draft to make up for a sudden plunge in volunteers? Who knows? I wonder what the Obama Youth Vote would think if that comes to pass. Read full article.

He also wondered if Obama will follow through with his promises to disarm the United States. That’s scary! Will Obama’s disarmament of America bring about an attack on our own soil?

Since military recruitment is down, if we are attacked he may have no choice but to reinstate the draft. But remember, it won’t just be our sons called up to serve, it will also be our daughters if Barack Obama has his way.

Remember too, you’ve been warned, by none other than Barack Obama’s running mate.

    If there is a draft… wouldn’t it make more sense to blame GW Bush for starting a war based on lies and deceit and subsequetnly depleting our once great military?

    First, I think there SHOULD be a draft, regardless of who is President or if we are war or not. I also think that two years of mandatory national service should get you out of a military draft, but there should be something. I believe that student loans should be paid with national service.
    Now…you wrote this…his promises to disarm the United States. What the hell kind of lie is that? You find that written or spoken anywhere and I’ll eat my keyboard. You are as bad as that broad who carved a B into her face.
    if you are going to go to all the work to keep a site like this up, wouldn’t it be more fun if you told the truth?

    Hormel, please, get a life. Is there nothing you and your stripe will not blame on George W. Bush?

    BTW: If you’re going to use this a**-backwards logic, then you’ll have to go back to Jimmy Carter, who so miserably and ineptly handled the issues with the Iranians.

    That emboldened them, then every terrorist since, to see the U.S. as weak.

    FBW: “YOu’re as bad as that broad…” Considerate. Wrong.
